<![CDATA[Purpose – This study aims to examine the effects of the physical workplace environment and job stress on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable among employees of TVRI Central Java. Design/Methodology/Approach – This study employs a quantitative explanatory research design. The research involved all 162 employees of TVRI Central Java as respondents. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 29. The analysis included path analysis and hypothesis testing to examine the direct and indirect relationships among the physical workplace environment, job stress, job satisfaction, and employee performance. Findings – The results indicate that the physical workplace environment has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, and job stress also positively influences job satisfaction. However, neither the physical workplace environment nor job stress has a direct significant effect on employee performance. Job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction mediates the effects of both the physical workplace environment and job stress on employee performance. These findings highlight that improving job satisfaction is an important mechanism for enhancing employee performance through effective workplace management and stress management. Originality/Value This research is original in demonstrating the indirect effects of physical work environment and job stress on performance through job satisfaction. The findings provide practical value by guiding managers to prioritize satisfaction-oriented interventions rather than relying solely on physical or stress reduction efforts. ]]>
